Re: Naruto 541 Spoiler Discussion

Just as I predicted. Naruto is overpowered by self-confidence which is awesome. Raikage making ridiculous statements is just like him. Though it was inevitable that either Bee or Tsunade would stop them. They're probably gonna be stopped by Bee's Talk No Jutsu. <3

Re: Naruto 541 Spoiler Discussion

I still don't expect a full-on fight. Likely, Naruto will pull off something like, getting a clean hit on him, or dodging one of his blows. Something to show how much he's improved... but it won't take a whole fight to do so, and Raikage doesn't have to be KO'd to be impressed by Naruto's growth. Likewise, if he's KO'd we won't get any of that "power to change people" stuff we normally get from Naruto that we all expected the moment we saw his first encounter with Raikage. On top of all that, Raikage isn't some grunt that can be replaced easily. He's got too big of a part in the war to be trounced as a jobber and left unconscious. Maybe if he were on the battlefield, sure.

Totally agree. It would also be TOO MUCH of an improvement from Naruto's side to actually knock him down unconscious.

Raikage has no point of reference to judge whether or not Naruto has grown in combat strength. The only thing he would be able to see is a difference in his personality and demeanor.

As far as Raikage's leadership role, have we actually seen him do anything other than follow Shikaku's advice?

Re: Naruto 541 Spoiler Discussion

Raikage won't chose to kill Bee or Naruto...like the Rock chick once said kill both jins and Madara plans is fugged but that will only be for a while and then both top bijuu will be free without hosts when they eventually come back. Madara can just wait and capture them in the wild which is easier than the way things stand now. Anyway there is an argument both Bee and Naruto can use for allowing them to move on...simply put, for too long have jins/hosts just been used as tools, Bee fled his village on this fact, Naruto has been only been seen as kyuubi till of late. Both Bee and Naruto I can feel argue they would want to die if it comes to it fighting as nins and not just weapons/jins. Bee and Naruto demolishing both Tsunade and Raikage to go on doesn't do anything IMO apart list them as rogue nins...chasing around 2 jins who don't want to get caught, they will need a division or 2 just for that I don't think they have the forces to do this.

If Naruto cannot defeat Raikage he's weaker than Sasuke BEFORE he got EMS. What the heck would be the point of that?

You're right about the first part but I don't agree with the second. Naruto will probably improve 2 or 3 times more throughout this war. First new improvement after the present strength will probably be full cooperation with Kyuubi. There will still probably be more to his RS mode combined with SM. There's no doubt about that he will get a lot stronger, stronger than he is now, whether he's now stronger or weaker than Sasuke.

Nah...there's no such thing in the spoiles...ohana describes only the Naruto Raikage scene...but of course ohana never tells us all...but I doubt Sasuke will appear in this chapter anyway...he wouldn't be left out from the first spoiler words
